What a team! We had a successful four weeks studying and sampling calcic and petrocalcic horizons in the Mojave, and are now working to unravel paleoenvironmental signatures from sample geochemistry and micromorphology!
Six undergrads performed four eeks of field and laboratory study in SE Wyoming examining vegetation and fluvial responses to the Paleocene-Eocene Thermal Maximum
We had an extraordinary research summer – a week getting to know each other and the project, two weeks in the field, and another two weeks in the lab conducting analyses. We are excited to present our results at GSA in November!
Our field effort included collecting over 70 samples from the Valdez and Orca Groups of the Chugach-Prince William terrane (CPW) in southern Alaska.
Ben Surpless and four students used structural field mapping and video captured by a quad-copter drone to investigate rock deformation within a major normal fault transfer zone.
